That thing's crazy looking, in a good way.

Warren back on a strat...man that should suit the gig nicely. I'm sure the 335 will be used regularly also.

That is pretty freaky. The way it extends way past the bridge is a trip.

But more importantly, to me at least, Warren was playing a Strat and an SG through a PRS amp and Tone Tubby cab. Sounded good. I like the nod to early Jerry tones. He should add a P90 Les Paul to that mix.

There are a few rehearsal clips on youtube, and I like that Warren seems to be paying a nod to Jerry in tone and style. I thought it sounded pretty good....like the Dead.

And I love Phil Lesh. It is very inspiring to see the look on his face as he plays. He seems to have that same excitement playing a song for the 1000th time as he did the first time he played it. Music should never be a chore, and Phil always seemed to understand that.

I'll be there next Sunday in Greensboro!!! CAn't wait, I'm coming back from a little 5 day run and then get to see The Dead!!!
